I have never watched Chris Mathews before tonight..... I will NEVER watch him again. That was the most disgusting piece of journalism I have ever seen.

Notice how Matthews was cutting him off and talking over him and then when he brought it up, Matthews said that was a trick that only conservatives do to him.
Why?
Because he only does that to conservatives.
Matthews was SHAMEFUL |

Well......looks like both Matthews and Hurley lost their cool.....both were sputtering, Matthews personally attacked O'Neill and accused him of using "typical conservative" tactics by stating that Matthews hadn't allowed him to tell all the facts.....Matthews said he would clock how much time O'Neill was allowed to speak. I can guarantee you that Matthews mouth was open for the majority of the time.
Bottom line.....O'Neill was rock solid and they were flustered and beet red. _________________ KP

It was so great when Matthews tried to cut him off on the first purple heart by going to a commercial.....coming back and trying to move on to something else but he didn't allow it. That was great |

Jack, I think you got it right.
Kerry's group will use that guy again, he was more capable than Jeh Johnson.
Swiftees must get some of the 60 people out there speaking. Numbers, we need numbers.
The lies about Cambodia need to be spoken about constantly.

John O is eloquent but was cut off twice today, first by James Carville/Lanny Davis tag team on CNN, then by Matthews/Hurley on MSNBC tonight. John needs to be out there talking, but can't get a word in edgewise when he's doubleteamed. Not much to suggest here, but to be aware of new tactics being used by Kerry mouthpieces.
Note: Matthews email: hardball@msnbc.com |

John O'Neill is grace under fire ... I saw him on Crossfire and on Hardball.
In both cases, it was 2 against one, and John was so incredibly credible and dignified.
And ... Chris Matthews lost it!!!
You know, one reason I watch Hardball is that while Matthews has an agenda .. he WILL pause when he trips over a fact. He paused, with that ohmigod look on his face towards the end of John's discussion. Then ... he wound up, redfaced with the democrat mantra "John Kerry has been a vet. John Kerry has done more than anybody else for this country. John Kerry has served more than our current president" Etc. Etc.
Those two debates on Hardball and on Crossfire were probably the worst. Hang tough, guys, and God Bless you. |

Email just sent to Matthews:
Chris you kept answering your own questions. Nice how you guys avoided the Cambodia story. Nice how you failed to acknowledge that Elliott in an affidavit states he would have not recommended the Silver Star. Nice how you brushed over the fact that Hibbard denied Kerry’s request for a Purple Heart. Nice how you failed to ask if Kerry was ever hospitalized or missed any duty because of his injuries. Nice how you did not find it peculiar that someone could get all of those medals in four months. And finally very nice how you avoided discussing that Kerry came home and lied before Congress about atrocities committed by himself and fellow servicemen.
You are Unfit for Journalism.

What was up with the "conservative trick" reference??? How paranoid did Matthews appear???? If he would watch a replay of the episode he would be ashamed of himself. The supposedly objective moderator of the discussion reduces himself to a more vile level than Hurley. |

Hi all I am new to posting, but have been reading for a while.
I am still shaking from chrissy's hatred!
I saw cnn and softball, and I am appalled at how this political hacks are behaving!
Mr. O'Neil is an honorable man, and deserves respect from those puky hacks that have no idea what they are talking about!
I applaud you Mr. O'Neil, and keep on pushing, there are people listening! |

Here's my e-mail to Matthews
Quote: | I have great respect for John O'Neill for speaking out and having the courage to face the tag-teaming he received on your show tonight. Wow.......Mr. O'Neill made you and Mr. Hurley look like nothing but sputtering Kerry mouthpieces. It's apparent that you and your liberal associates only like the facts when it supports your ideology and practice censure when facts that support the opposition are revealed. I only watched your show because I heard that Mr. O'Neill would be on. I now know why I've avoided your show in the past and will continue to avoid it in the future. Your blatant, rude and shrill attack on Mr. O'Neill (which seems to be more and more the liberal-left way to deal with the truth) reminded me of why I'm moving more and more away from being a moderate to being a conservative.
I watched Brit Hume deal with this same topic today and his demeanor makes you look like a spoiled brat that isn't getting his way. You, Mr. Matthews, are unfit to be in the journalistic profession. |

Typical Matthews!
It was an ambush all the way.
Ask question-interrupt answer
Set up false scenario-cut off answer
Let HIS guest talk uninterrupted.
Wouldn't let Cambodia be brought up.

Way to go, Kurtsprincess!
There's a good point to be learned here. We are making ourselves feel good talking about these things but we need to barage these leftist-commie news people with emails stating our support for the Swifties. Otherwise, we are just exercising our mouths and fingers and not protecting these upstanding Vets against this onslaught against the truth.
I've written to all the networks after each interview to give my take. I want to be heard as well - I SUPPORT THESE GUYS! _________________ Working with Senator Kerry four years in the POW/MIA Office left me thinking -- when did the man ever do any work? |
